In Il Battic-Panorama Studio.

Tho central platform is, Of course, the
standpoint from which visitors will view
the panOrama,-and therefore the artists
are obliged TO go 10 it frequently, rs the
painting ncars completion, III order to
observe tho effect and progress Of their
work.
This, too, is tho place of conference,
and despite the signs of NO Admit
lance, within and without, visitors are
frequent, and usually welcome, These
visitors are often veteran soldiers who
took part in the action represented, and
who often make helpful suggestions.
The army stories that arc told on the
central platform, would, If collected,
make II prodiGiOus volume. The floor
OF the platform is chalkcd and rcchalk-
ci, some referring 10 the panorama it,
SELF, but more to illustrate occurrences
upon other fields. The strong pine rail
surrounding the platform is pcncillcd all
over with kindred decorations. while
scraps OF paper, upon which arc memo
randa OF incidents, and variety of data,
rs we'll us namCS and addresses, are
pinned to the convenient timber with
thUmb-tacks.
Tic artist paints steadily, every indi-
vidupt being mainly occupied in perfect
img lis work, though never hcsitat-
inr To ask or extend aid in some special
direction. One artist, for instance. has
an excellent figure OF a mounted officer,
MI complete cNccpting tho portrait

canvas. While this artist goes to
strengthen 81 line Of battle, mother
one will rapidly paint All admirable
portrait for The incomplete figure. SION,
another brush is busy with tho horse,
while another artist calls for some spec
iai saddle and bride to be brought TO
the platform that he may paint the trap
pings.
Now, look at the back Of the photo
graph which is pinned to the canvas
Il faded cnTtc d. CiSitc OF ayoung officer,

Sultan ScIim's Mosque.

Sultan Solim's mosque at Adrianople
is tho finest in tho MoSlom world. Seen
from Il distance in the train, its rotunda
and four tall minarets mako it look to
western eyes like n hugo gasomcter,
but, says Il writer in the London Times,
it is worth while spending u day at
Adrianoplc if only to SEQ the inside Of
this marvellous building. Since the
Russians last camc here and stamped
all ovcr tho place with thor muddy
boots, the Turks are no longer particular
about requiring GiaOurs TO goin unshod.

which you drag on over your boots. and

connected with II stone violet plant
which is carved over its fountain. A
poor man. who owned part of tho

refused 10 sell his land unless Il violet

Camden, N. j., is a good place for mar.

the Rev. Isaac w. Bagley, Baptist. Mr..

about So, 72O a year. Mr.. Sleeper uuilcs
about 90 couples n month, receiving about

Miss Eastlalso's Quaint Gowns.

Miss Eastlakc affects the quaint
gowns which are unlike tho fashion
able garb that the average woman of
to-day clothes her figure in. These
gowns, by the way, have created more
or less discussion, both in and out OF
print. TO my mind, however, they
form no slight part of the same individ-
ualliy that on every side bcScts the lady.
To see Miss Eastlakc arraycd in any
thing but the soft, dark, clinginp
pushes that are cut SO rs to hang prin-
ciptliy from the shoulders, with the
broad, deep frill Of fine embroidery or
lace gathered around the neck, that
have become famous in London rs tho
''Nostiakc collar" would seem like tax
ing the pretty children that Kate
Grccnaway know SO well how TO draw
in picturesque attire, and decking them,
instead, like a French doll that tho true
Partisan child selects in one OF tho CAV
tOy-shOps OF Paris. The word aesthetic
which has been applied so often to Miss
Eastlako, is not the proper word to use
in describing her ut all; that is. as we
in this age in England and America
understand tho word. That Miss East
lake is Il believer in aesthetics is true,
for she is II firm believer in tho science
which treats Of all that is beautiful in
art and nature, which is tho true def
milton Of the word, but that she is limp,
clnging, languid or sickly sentimental,
either III manner or appearance. is q
libel 81 the utmost magnitude. -BoSton
